- Interested in SV calling from LRS data but overwhelmed by the 25,000 variants you're sorting through? Check out needLR! Gus just updated it today to include SV calls from 450 1000 Genomes samples (900 haplotypes), vcf output, and much more. github.com/jgust1/needLR
- Has anyone had luck submitting a paper without submitting all author names on the paper? I am tired of spending an hour or more adding people to a journal submission site just to have the paper editorially rejected the next day... I know some journals have forms you can upload, but some do not.
- I am very sad to share that Scott Hawley passed away this morning. Scott was my graduate advisor and no other person had such a positive impact on my life. I will miss him dearly.
- I never knew what it meant to go on a life changing trip until now. I just spent an amazing week in Nairobi teaching genetics to some truly wonderful physicians and seeing kids with suspected genetic conditions. It felt all the more special to have been there on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

- Been looking forward to sharing this for a long time! Great collaboration with folks from across the world in which we identified a SVA_E insertion missed by standard clinical testing in individuals with Canavan disease, an early onset neurodegenerative disease. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Fine, this job isn’t all that terrible…
- Day 4 and 5 of computational genomics at CSH: students giving their project pitches and the view from my grant writing nest.
- Your feel-good video for today. Dick Van Dyke at 99. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Ol...
- Day 2 of Computational Genomics at Cold Spring Harbor during the intro to UNIX session. 24 great students, 5 amazing TAs, fantastic lectures, and a few instructors who mostly complain about the coffee.
- Reposted by Danny Miller, MD, PhDBiology of Genomes 2025 is coming up: - meeting dates: May 6 - 10, 2025 - abstract deadline: Feb 14, 2025 We hope to see you there for another great meeting with a fantastic speaker lineup! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.asp...
- Reposted by Danny Miller, MD, PhDA vertical takeoff of life science with #AI LLLMs. Publication of 10 new foundation models of Proteins, DNA, RNA, methylation, cells, and interactions, evolution, and design in the past couple of weeks! Unprecedented progress, reviewed in the new Ground Truths erictopol.substack.com/p/learning-t...
- Amazing story
- Good read about how the NIH functions. After 2 years as a new investigator I only now feel like I am starting to understand the process. This is one of the challenges for new investigators: why is the learning curve so steep?
- Show me a worse fortune for an early career researcher…
- I love the starter packs, but adding people is a giant pain in the ass. Is there an easier way to add someone beyond editing it through your profile?

- I created a long-read sequencing starter pack. I'm still finding people on here, so apologies if I missed you. Please suggest people who should be added and I'll add them! go.bsky.app/JGkefsJat://did:plc:45thspjx5vugk5lljuil4mbd/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lank4ot7a42j

- Paper accepted…with no revisions! Been a minute since that happened. Lucky for excellent collaborators and a straightforward story.
- One of my favorite facts about today's Nobel: "She was on track to become a full professor, but grant rejections led to her being demoted by the university in 1995. ... Her persistence was noted as exceptional against the norms of academic research work conditions." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katalin...
- Our first cover! We got the cover of the October issue of G3 for our Acomys cahirinus genome! academic.oup.com/g3journal/is...
